The MDV has given electrical wholesaler staff, customers and clients the opportunity to see and experience first-hand Hamilton\u2019s comprehensive, intelligent, easy-to-use control solutions and our switch plate &amp; socket collections.\u00a0We\u2019ve been keen to give our many Irish customers the opportunity to utilise the vehicle for sometime so are particularly delighted that our Irish roadshow is underway.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Switch Distribution and Harpers have worked with Hamilton\u2019s Group Product Development &amp; Export Sales Executive, John Purnell, to plan and implement the country-wide tour. Christine Noonan, Marketing Manager at Switch says: \u201cThis is an excellent opportunity for us to raise awareness of the benefits of Hamilton\u2019s lighting and audio control solutions. We are very pleased to have secured so many great locations for the tour and are expecting the MDV to attract a great deal of attention throughout!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ewnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Road-Trip-map.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-8468\" src=\"https:\/\/ewnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Road-Trip-map-257x300.jpg\" alt=\"Road Trip map\" width=\"257\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ewnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Road-Trip-map-257x300.jpg 257w, https:\/\/ewnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Road-Trip-map-128x150.jpg 128w, https:\/\/ewnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Road-Trip-map-879x1024.jpg 879w, https:\/\/ewnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Road-Trip-map.jpg 1654w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 257px) 100vw, 257px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Hamilton\u2019s MDV is designed to give customers the chance to judge for themselves just how easy Mercury\u00ae lighting control and multi-room audio systems are to install. Hamilton\u2019s technical sales team will be on hand throughout the tour to talk MDV visitors through all aspects of installing Hamilton\u2019s Mercury\u00ae systems and to answer any questions.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Gavin explains: \u201cWith Hamilton there is nothing stopping electrical contractors increasing business by suggesting their customers take the first steps to a \u2018Smart Home\u2019 by beginning with a \u2018Smarter Home\u2019. The reality is every electrical installer knows all they need to know about smart technology with the Hamilton system because each Mercury control pack is supplied pre-programmed for 4-channel circuits. All the installer needs to do is work out the number of channels he requires, say 8 channels, then simply wire two 4-channel Mercury control packs together, setting the dip switches in the wall plate to correspond to the matching channel terminal in the pack. Even remote control is simple to set-up with Hamilton\u2019s iOS app \u2013 it requires <strong>no programming\u00a0<\/strong> whatsoever!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hamilton-litestat.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.hamilton-litestat.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hamilton-litestat.com\/news-and-events\/hamiltons-mercury-roadshow-lights-up-the-emerald-isle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.hamilton-litestat.com\/news-and-events\/hamiltons-mercury-roadshow-lights-up-the-emerald-isle\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To\u00a0 arrange for the MDV to visit your premises or to find out when the MDV is coming to a venue near you (or for details on Hamilton\u2019s free training and development courses), email\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:info@hamilton-litestat.com\">info@hamilton-litestat.com<\/a>\u00a0or phone\u00a0+44 (0) 1747 860088.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hamilton Litestat\u2019s Mobile Demonstration Vehicle (MDV) is touring Ireland for the first time from 14 \u2013 24 April 2015.
